Ultimate G1 Auction Items Finally Resurface

So, you all remember the crazy Ultimate G1 Transformer auction, right? Well, it turns out, that whoever bid on the auction the third time, ACTUALLY paid 50k for it. How do I know this person won? I remember the name, and I checked the feedback.

Here's the link to the items which are now being listed by the winner:

He might have made his money back if all the figures had been MISB, but many were far from it. Lots of them didn't even have the box inserts!

I agree. There's no way this guy is going to make a return on his money. That was the biggest debate back when the Ultimate Auction was still listed. Everyone said there was no way they'd pay that much, because most of the items were not MISB. MISB items would fetch a pretty penny. But not what this person got ahold of.

I do plan on keeping an eye out for those licensed products that were listed in the auction. I really would love to own some of those items. =P

I noticed some of the items from that "Ultimate G1 Auction" looked yellowed, specifically PM Optimus Prime, Apeface and Fastlane/Cloudraker.

If you're referring to the items in the link I gave in the first post, all those items are not from the Ultimate G1 Auction. Since most of the items that seller is selling do not come with boxes, it is safe to assume this. Why spend 50k on an auction and then resell a bunch of the items without their boxes?

If you're referring to the G1 Auction itself, I never noticed any yellowing on the items. But thenagain, I didn't look at everything that was shown.

I'm referring to the original auction(s). These were from the original auction(s).

It could be insert that had yellowed or the toy, I can't really tell.

With Prime it looks like a piece of plastic inside rather than the toy.

If it is the toy, it's going to hurt the value a bit; although that goes without saying.
